If Fallout 2 had had a survival mode that restricted when you could save I'm reasonably certain people would have said it was a bad idea due to the game's instability.

lunatikfringe posted:Having configurable options might make it more appealing for some who do not like the hardcore nature of survival mode, but it cheapens the goal of having a dedicated survival mode to begin with. Having a baseline set of guidelines makes it a challenging mode for the entire population of survival players. gently caress that, modular survival is good because it gives more gameplay options for people who don't want to play the whole package without shutting them out entirely. If you want the whole shebang, power to you, I want to quicksave when it's time to go to work or go out and not wander in search of a mattress just to quit.

This is without any mods, and my PC is a fairly average in terms of hardware so it's not like it's crashing because I'm playing on a toaster.

On my pure 1.4 PC play through, I had to use console a couple times to disable clipping because I trapped myself. Also could get my resolution screwed up if I alt tabbed sometimes and had to quit and reload. However, quite amazingly, no crashes.

Just head straight to the back past Desdemona and I think there's a short hallway with a ladder IIRC. I used it a bunch before I figured out you could fast travel out. Never used it to get back in the place, though. Just hit level 100  Wish there was a way to respec perk points. Why the hell did I was points on Basher and Heavy Gunner?

I just captured Castle. Is there a reason I cannot build a heavy machinegun turret there? I have all the materials, I can build a normal turret there, and I can build a heavy one back at Sanctuary. The silhouette to place it just doesn't show up at all. What am I missing? Playing vanilla if it matters Edit: Uhhh...  I'm able to build HMG Turrets again after scrapping a destroyed artillery on the ramparts. Random. Morter fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Apr 5, 2016 |

I don't have any supply lines at all. All the materials are in Castle. Here, is just me switching from one to the other. For the record, I have Gun Nut 2.   (I'm also curious as to why my 11 power isn't enough, considering i have the radio tower (and the little lightbulb) powered, but it's not relevant right now)

In my personal experience, Fallout 4 was a mostly painless launch. I've never had the world-ending horror stories of bugs detailed on SA and other places, but Fallout 3 and New Vegas had some pretty insane bugs at launch for me that I didn't even encounter a shadow of in Fallout 4. The most egregious problems with Fallout 4 are still kind of around. For as ugly as the game is compared to some other AAA open world games, it runs like a trash fire. I can run The Witcher 3 on medium settings @ 1080 with 60fps, but Fallout 4 requires software overclocking for a stable framerate. I'm not really happy about that.

Okay so today I learned you need more than 12 in your inventory to make a Heavy Machinegun Turret...even though it only requires 10 vvv Edit vvv: It's actually the opposite for me. Runs noticeably smoother when fullscreen, but I am running dual monitors with different refresh rates (144hz/60hz) so maybe that has something to do with it Morter fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Apr 5, 2016 |

Run the game in borderless window instead of fullscream. It was chugging on my 970gtx on fullscreen, and now with borderless window I get 50-60 fps. Try it!

Morter posted:I don't have any supply lines at all. All the materials are in Castle. The red power number means there's something that needs power that you haven't hooked up to a sufficient power source. It doesn't matter if you build 10 large generators, if there's a shotgun turret somewhere that's not wired in right, the power number will still be red. ...and if you've only just retaken the Castle, there are some things that you just can't wire up yet. Don't know if they count those, though.

I already found it out (edited the posts above before your guys' responses) but thanks. Now I gotta find out by what devilry borderless windowed is IMPROVING performance because for almost every demanding game it's a noticeable frame rate drop for me  Edit: Oh, this is exactly what's happening to me.

I played the gently caress out of Fallout 4 on the launch patch, and compared to New Vegas or 3, it was night and day. Crashes are really rare. The biggest issues were gameplay not working right. Level 4 vendors and things like that bugging out. But I certainly wouldn't call it unstable. ImpAtom posted:You do know this thread has been active since launch, right?

I finally get the name of the mission "Hole in the Wall". There's a place in France where the naked ladies dance. Unfortunately, I will never be able to do the mission since I can't get Ashes the cat to go back to the vault in this playthrough. I am not on a computer so I can't fix this with a console command. I guess I should check on my other game. That one has a glitch in an early Railroad quest. Perhaps it is fixed. Doubt it though.

Just beat the Mechanist tonight. I picked up an X-01 set in the Rust Devils' base though and along with a six-crank laser musket and wounding sawed-off it kind of trivialized the whole thing. Admittedly I did probably a pump a good ten or so stimpaks in the final fight, but the armor was barely singed by the end (and this was Mk I X-01, on the hardest difficulty setting). Pretty disappointed in the 'base' you get though, since it's just that one big room and doesn't even include the baller control center, and all the non-robot crafting stations are outside of it meaning you can't use them with supply lines. Also...why is Jezebel not a companion? She really seems like she should be? That whole bit felt like cut content.

So, this is my second playthrough, doing some stuff I kind of ignored back during launch. I just did the Silver Shroud quests. It was hammy but still well written, in my opinion. I felt kinda sorry for the ghoul who just wanted to cling to his memories of the old world, so i agreed to help him  murdering bad guys was a nice side-benefit. And then the kidnapping  and saving him! and at the very end he's happy and re-invigorated by my terrible silver shroud roleplay.And then I ran into the Vault-Tec guy! same thing. Is it jsut me or are the non-feral ghouls are a lot more sympathetic than they have been previously?
